Independent filmmaker Paul Roy recounts his experiences in the Philippines in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan.
On 14 November 2013 Typhoon Haiyan, the most destructive in Filipino history, slammed into the Visayas islands
killing over 6,000 people, injuring tens of thousands and making millions homeless. International media attention
focused squarely on the disaster zone and it was impossible not to be moved by images of the extraordinary
destruction – ships tossed up onto the shore, entire buildings flattened, the exodus of the homeless and bodies being
buried in mass graves.
While these events were catastrophic and the consequences far-reaching, there are pernicious and equally
destructive forces at work every day in the Philippines. Affecting people whose plight is equally grim yet usually
invisible, they are covered only sporadically by the media and whose existence the central government ignores
wherever possible – except at election times.
When Typhoon Haiyan struck, I was making a documentary series over six months in Manila’s infamous Tondo
slums – some of the worst in the country. There are an estimated 4 million slum dwellers (or urban poor as they are
often euphemistically referred to) living in Manila’s sprawling districts. These are the poorest of the poor, the
dispossessed and powerless, squatters packed into crumbling “temporary” tenements or living in shacks slung
under bridges or hovels built on top of toxic waste dumps.
Life is a daily struggle for these squatters whose families can number 12 or 14, giving the Philippines having one of
the highest birth rates in south-east Asia. In the most populous Manila slums, such as “Happyland” or “Aroma” –
occupation runs at 75,000-80,000 people per square mile. One of the densest on earth.

This over population is, I believe, in large part due to the Catholic beliefs of many Filipinos, resulting in a
reluctance to use artificial contraception or education, resulting in fisherman like Gener Pagtabunan and his family
to live a life of poverty. Gener, his wife Lorna and their nine children live in a narrow alleyway in Beseco slum
crowded into a two room shack with a dirt floor, no running water or toilet, cooking on an open fire. Gener, an
economic refugee from the provinces, struggles to make even a subsistence living fishing the polluted and
unproductive waters of Manila harbour.
“You saw it yourself, right? Nothing, not even one fish. Nothing,” says Gener’s wife Lorna plaintively as he
returns empty-handed for the fourth day in a row to face the hungry faces of his children. To make ends meet Lorna
painstakingly peels garlic for hours at time earning $US1 for every 15 kilograms. Just enough for one meal for the
family. Squatting over a tub of unpeeled garlic Lorna laments, “Whenever I have a little food, I just divide it
amongst my children because I know it isn’t enough for all of us. I resent having so many children.”
This conflict between religion and pragmatism is a common dilemma here in the slums. Informal midwife, Remi,
sees it every day as she assists women, often still in their teens, in the squalid slums. She sees first-hand the cycle
of poverty that having large families creates. “I use family planning myself, that’s why I only have five kids,” says
Remi after a long night spent delivering yet another baby into the slums. The baby’s parents are young scavengers,
it is their second child and they live in a claustrophobic room almost entirely filled by a bed and lit only by candle.
“My views conflict with my religion, right?” continues Remi. “The Bible says contraception is bad – especially
ligation. Do you prefer children growing up with no discipline from their parents or do you follow what the Bible
says that family planning is bad?” Several months earlier coastal Baseco slum was hit by tropical storm Trami. Not
as bad as Haiyan, but bad enough. We tracked down Gener and his family along with thousands of others who had
been were evacuated to a typhoon shelter. Around them were scenes of chaos as long lines of the hungry jostled for
limited food.
“We’re starving and we don’t have enough money to buy rice,” said Gener plaintively. “We may as well go home
but it’s not safe.” As hundreds milled around wanting to be first in line if one of the charities donated food, the wife
of Manila’s mayor and former disgraced President Joseph Estrada swept into the centre accompanied by reporters
and camera crews. After a cursory look around, a few photos and PR grabs, she sat down and ate a substantial
takeaway meal – devoured by the hungry eyes of the homeless.
